EViews Commercial and Government Volume License Program
This AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into effective as of _________ (“Effective Date”) by and between
_____________________________________________ (“Licensee”) and IHS Global Inc. (“Licensor”), with respect to the following recitals:
A. Licensor owns or controls the rights to that certain software
product known as EViews, including the algorithms and content
contained therein, and all ancillary and related materials and
documentation (“EViews” or the “EViews Software”).
B. Licensee desires to license the EViews Software for its internal
use, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties
agree as follows:
1.
LICENSE GRANT AND RESTRICTIONS
Conditioned upon Licensee’s compliance with the terms and
conditions hereof, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a nonexclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license, without right to
sublicense, for the term of this Agreement to use the EViews Software
as intended by Licensor for Licensee’s internal business purposes
only, subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, including
without limitation, the seat licenses set forth herein.
a.
The EViews Software is licensed, not sold, to the Licensee. The
EViews Software shall be licensed in object code only. Licensee may
not copy (except to make a reasonable number of copies solely for
backup or archival purposes), distribute, sublicense, commercialize or
otherwise exploit the EViews Software. Licensee may not remove any
copyright notice, trademark, or service mark from the EViews
Software. Licensee may not translate, disassemble, decompile,
reverse engineer, modify, or create derivative works from or of the
EViews Software. Licensee may not use the EViews Software to
support, enhance or maintain any third party’s use of the EViews
Software. The EViews Software may not be used in an “ASP,” hosted
or service bureau model for the benefit of third parties. Licensee may
not export or re-export the EViews Software. Licensee acknowledges
that the EViews Software contains trade secrets, and accordingly,
Licensee will preserve the confidentiality of the EViews Software with
at least the same degree of care with which Licensee protects its own
most confidential information.
b.
c. The EViews Software (including all modifications thereto or
derivative works prepared therefrom, whether authorized or not) and
all intellectual property rights in any of the foregoing are and shall
remain the sole and exclusive property of Licensor or its licensors, as
applicable. No ownership, interest or title to the EViews Software, or
any intellectual property rights therein, is transferred to Licensee
under this License. All right, title and interest in the EViews Software
remains the sole and exclusive property of Licensor.
2.
SEAT AND CONCURRENT LICENSES
The EViews Volume License Program allows for both SEAT and
CONCURRENT USE licensing as determined between the parties at
the time of purchase. With SEAT licensing EViews is licensed for use
on specific computers. An EViews access license (Seat License) is
required for each computer or “seat” that will run the EViews software.
With CONCURRENT USE licensing there are no restrictions on which
computers can run the EViews software, but the number of
simultaneous instances of EViews in use is limited to the number of
Concurrent Use Licenses licensed to Licensee. The SEAT and
CONCURRENT USE licensing programs are described in more detail
in Section 3 below.
a.
1633305.2 03
b. Regardless of which type of licensing is selected, this Agreement
is limited to the entity identified as the Licensee above. The Licensee
for an EViews Volume License may be a single company or
government agency, or a smaller budgetary unit within a single
company or government agency. Multiple companies, government
agencies or units may not share a single Volume License.
c.
Computers allowed to run EViews under Volume Licenses
include any computer at one of the physical locations of Licensee's
organization. This includes network clients running shared copies of
the EViews software and standalone computers on which the software
has been installed. In addition, computers at the homes of permanent
employees of Licensee, and laptop computers used by employees
traveling on Licensee business, qualify for use under the Volume
License Program. All such uses are subject to the limitations
identified on Exhibit A. Licensee shall be responsible for complying
and procuring that each user complies with this Agreement,
regardless of where the computers running EViews are located. No
other computers are qualified to run EViews under an EViews Volume
License. These terms explicitly exclude off-site use of EViews by
consultants, contractors, temporary employees and other nonemployee personnel of Licensee.
3.
RESTRICTIONS ON USE AND MANAGEMENT OF LICENSES
Under both SEAT and CONCURRENT USE licensing the
EViews Software can be run either directly from a network server, or
installed locally on a client machine. In both cases, the EViews
Software can be installed on an unlimited number of network servers
and client machines without regard to the type or number of licenses
granted to Licensee. Among other things, this allows EViews to be
part of a standard software suite that is replicated across all machines
at Licensee’s site.
a.
However, installation of EViews will not in and of itself allow the
software to operate. When launched, the EViews software must first
validate its license before it will actually run. This validation process
differs significantly between SEAT and CONCURRENT USE licensing.
b.
Under SEAT licensing, individual computers are given machine
specific license validation information through a simple process of
registration with Licensor (see Managing SEAT Licenses below).
When the EViews program is launched, either from a network file
server or from locally installed program files, EViews uses information
from the machine on which it is running to confirm that it has been
registered.
c.
Under CONCURRENT USE licensing, license information is
centralized on a single Windows machine running a separate piece of
software called the “EViews License Manager” (see Managing
CONCURRENT USE Licenses below).
No machine specific
registration is required for computers running EViews. The EViews
software may be installed on and run from any number of servers or
client machines with either LAN or VPN access to the computer
running the EViews License Manager software.
d.
Both SEAT and CONCURRENT USE licensing are appropriate
when EViews is run directly from program files installed on the client
machine, or from program files delivered across a network via a
network file server. To run EViews remotely via Windows Terminal
Server or Citrix Presentation Server requires CONCURRENT USE
licensing. Computers without access to EViews License Manager, for
example disconnected laptops, require SEAT licensing.
e.
f. The EViews Volume License Program allows organizations to
combine SEAT and CONCURRENT USE licensing. For example, a
license might specify ten Seat Licenses for laptops or dedicated
workstations and another five Concurrent Use Licenses for a large
number of support personnel who use EViews infrequently. The
advantage of CONCURRENT USE licensing is its flexibility in
reallocating use of EViews across users and machines and the fact
that fewer licenses are required to support occasional EViews users.
The advantage of SEAT licensing is that it is cheaper on a per license
basis and that it does not require network access to the EViews
License Manager.
g.
Managing SEAT Licenses
i)
Installation of the EViews software under SEAT licensing is a
two-step procedure. First, the program files must be installed, either on
the individual workstations that will run EViews or on a network server.
ii)
The EViews installer may be used to place EViews program and
support files on any stand alone computers or network servers
belonging to Licensee or its employees. The organization need not be
concerned about the number of machines on which the EViews
program files are installed, or the number of computers with access to
a network copy of the program. Among other things, this allows
EViews to be part of a standard software suite that is replicated across
all machines at Licensee’s site.
iii)
Merely installing the EViews program files on a computer will
allow the EViews program to run for a 30-day trial period. The second
step in EViews installation under SEAT licensing is software
registration. EViews registration is the process of assigning a serial
number to a specific machine and sending a unique machine ID to
Licensor. This is a simple operation that can easily be performed by
end users. Once registered on a machine, EViews will run indefinitely.
iv)
In addition to the File Installer, the licensee organization will
receive a list of unique serial numbers corresponding to the number of
seats it has licensed. Each machine to be designated as an EViews
seat must be assigned a serial number and registered. The first time
EViews is run on a new machine, the user will be prompted to register
the machine, either immediately or within the next 30 days. This
prompt will appear, whether EViews is installed on the local machine
or is running from a network server. If the computer has an internet
connection, the user can enter the serial number, click on one button
and EViews will automatically register the machine with Licensor.
Alternatively, the machine may be registered manually by telephone,
by web browser from any computer, or by email.
v)
Once registered, the EViews software may be uninstalled and
reinstalled, updated, or moved (for example, from network server to
local machine) without reregistering the machine. If a machine’s hard
disk is wiped clean or replaced, the machine will require reregistration, but it will be recognized by Licensor as a machine already
assigned a Seat License. During the period of technical support
provided under the EViews Volume License (see Software Support
below), a simple procedure is also provided for moving the Seat
Licenses (serial number and registration) from one computer to
another.
h.
Managing CONCURRENT USE Licenses.
i)
CONCURRENT USE licenses allow EViews to be shared across
all computers within a single network (LAN or VPN). This form of
licensing is the only form of licensing that includes support for running
EViews remotely using application servers such as Windows Terminal
Server or Citrix Presentation Server.
ii)
CONCURRENT USE licensing requires the use of the EViews
License Manager software. EViews License Manager is a separate
program that is run as a Windows Service on a computer that is
accessible to all machines that will run EViews. The primary job of
EViews License Manager is to limit the number of concurrent uses of
EViews to the number licensed by Licensee. When a copy of EViews
is launched, it connects to the designated license server machine and
requests a CONCURRENT USE license. EViews License Manager
1633305.2 03
counts the number of EViews sessions that are already running, and
only allows the new session to begin if sufficient licenses are available.
iii)
Since concurrent use of EViews requires continuous network
access to the EViews License Manager, the License Manager will
typically be installed on a network server that is running 24 hours a
day. The License Manager program requires few resources, so any
computer running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or later should be
capable of running the license manager software.
iv)
Under CONCURRENT USE licensing, there is considerable
flexibility in the location of the EViews program files. The EViews
program files may be installed on one or more network servers and/or
on individual client machines. The only limitation is that each machine
that will run EViews must be able to establish a network connection to
the machine running EViews License Manager. Once the EViews
License Manger is installed, EViews can be executed directly on the
client machines, or executed remotely using application servers such
as Windows Terminal Server or Citrix Presentation Server.
v)
Each CONCURRENT USE License may be installed on only a
single server running EViews License Manager; software activation
with Licensor locks the license to a specific machine. If it becomes
necessary to move a license to a new machine, it will require
contacting Licensor technical support during the Support period.
However, procedures that do not require the assistance of Licensor
are available for short term installation on a backup machine in the
case of hardware failure or routine maintenance.
4.
PRICING
Licensee shall pay to Licensor the applicable license fees set
forth on Exhibit B ("License Fees") within net 30 days after the date of
the relevant invoice. All License Fees specified in this Agreement are
exclusive of and Licensee is solely responsible for payment of all
value-added, sales, use, import, duties, customs or other taxes
applicable to the providing of products under this Agreement, except
for any taxes assessed upon the income of Licensor. To receive tax
exempt status, Licensee must submit applicable documentation
proving tax-exempt status to Licensor prior to Licensor issuing the first
invoice. Licensee must pay the said taxes invoiced prior to receipt by
Licensor of such documentation. The License Fees reflect the overall
number of “Units” licensed, where each Seat License requires one (1)
Unit, and each Concurrent Use License requires two (2) Units. The
allocation of Licensee's Units are set forth on Exhibit A. Once
specified, the allocation of Units between Seat and Concurrent Use
licenses is fixed and may not be changed without Licensor's consent
and the payment of additional fees. The cost per Unit is set forth on
Exhibit B.
a.
Fees not paid within said thirty (30) days shall incur interest at
the rate of one percent (1%) per month, and such non-payment shall
be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. License Fees do not
include any ongoing maintenance or support. License Fees are
subject to change at any time, without notice. Licensee has no right of
set-off.
b.
5.
SOFTWARE SUPPORT
Licensor provides organizations three types of support for the
EViews Software (“Support”). First, technical assistance is provided
as needed for the installation and use of the EViews Software.
Second, software revisions and updates are provided at no additional
charge during the term of Support. Finally, Support provides Licensee
with purchasing rights and license expansion rights. All three aspects
of Support are only available during periods in which Support has
been purchased and paid for by Licensee. Initial license fee includes
one (1) year Support commencing on the Effective date of this
Agreement. Subject to payment of applicable Support fees, the term of
Support may be extended through annual renewals, as set forth
below. Support provided is limited to the current release version of the
EViews Software.
a.
-2-
b.
Technical Assistance
i)
Technical assistance in the use and installation of EViews is
provided as part of Support under the EViews Volume License.
Technical support, by phone, e-mail, or written correspondence, will be
provided by Licensor to registered contact people during the Support
term of the Volume License. Technical assistance includes support for
moving Seat Licenses between computers as they are replaced or
when Licensee desires to reassign EViews licenses to different end
users. Similarly, it includes support for changing the host computer for
the EViews License Manager software.
ii)
Technical assistance will be provided to a maximum of three
individuals designated by Licensee as contact persons and identified
to Licensor on Exhibit A. Any other individuals seeking technical
assistance directly from Licensor will be directed to one of Licensee's
contact people.
Technical assistance is only provided during
Licensor's normal Support hours: 8:00AM through 5:00PM Pacific
Time, Monday-Friday.
iii)
Technical assistance refers only to providing support for the
operation of the EViews software and does not extend to general
problem solving and modeling issues, or econometrics and statistical
theory.
c.
Software Updates
i)
Licensor regularly updates the EViews Software. Updates fall
into two categories: minor "within version" updates and major version
changes.
Minor updates are posted at Licensor's web site:
www.eviews.com, and can be downloaded by Licensee at any time.
Major version updates require that the EViews Software be reinstalled
from media containing the new version of EViews.
ii)
Licensee shall be entitled at no additional charge to any new
major versions of the EViews Software released by Licensor within the
term of Licensee's Support.
d.
License Expansion and Purchasing Rights. During the term of
Support, Licensee may expand its number of Seat or Concurrent Use
licenses by paying the marginal cost of the number of additional Units
required relative to the number of Units that it currently licenses;
provided that Licensee may not re-allocate previously licensed Units.
6.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Use of the EViews Software is subject only to the payment of a
one-time license fee with respect to the Units licensed and is subject
to Licensee's ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, subject to subsection (f) below.
a.
b. Support shall expire one year from the date of purchase of the
Volume License. After this expiration date Licensor will not be under
any obligation to support EViews Software already licensed under the
EViews Volume License. Licensor reserves the right to discontinue
future sales and renewals of Support. Otherwise, Licensee may
extend the term of Support provided under this Agreement beyond the
Support expiration date by paying a renewal fee. Each renewal
extends Licensee's rights to Support for an additional one (1) year.
Licensor reserves the right to set renewal fees (and all other future
prices) at its discretion. Licensor will use commercially reasonable
efforts to notify Licensee approximately 30 days prior to the expiration
date of its Support. If Licensee does not renew within 60 days after the
Support expiration date, renewal rights will lapse and Licensee will
have to purchase a new license in order to receive Support.
Either Party may terminate this Agreement if: (a) the other Party
commits a breach of any material term or condition of this Agreement
and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice
thereof; or (b) the other Party’s assets are transferred to an assignee
for the benefit of creditors, to a receiver or to a trustee in bankruptcy;
or the other Party is adjudged bankrupt. Neither party has to right to
terminate for cross default. Provided, however, in addition to the
above, Licensor shall have the right to immediately terminate this
Agreement if Licensee breaches its license grants or restrictions
hereunder and to terminate this Agreement by providing not less than
c.
1633305.2 03
5 days written notice to Licensee if Licensor no longer has the
necessary right to license or distribute the EViews Software;
Upon termination of this Agreement, all licenses granted herein
immediately will terminate. Licensee represents and warrants that
upon expiration or other termination of this Agreement, Licensee
immediately will (i) discontinue all use of EViews Software(s); (ii)
delete or destroy any copies or items relating to EViews Software
(including but not limited to data, software, and Documentation) and
purge any EViews Software data from all electronic media; and (iii)
provide a written certification to Licensor that Licensee has complied
with this section. In the event Licensee terminates this Agreement in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6 (c) (a) above or in the
event Licensor no longer has the right to license the EViews Software
hereunder, Licensee shall be entitled to a pro-rate refund, as
applicable, of any License Fee amounts previously paid hereunder.
d.
e. Sections 1(c), 6(c) and (d), 7(c) and (d), and 8 through 11, and all
unpaid payments arising hereunder, shall survive the termination or
expiration of this License for any reason.
f. While the EViews Volume License allows use of the software for an
indefinite period of time, the method of licensing limits use of EViews
to the computers on which it is installed at the time Support expires.
With SEAT licensing, EViews is locked to the specific computers on
which it is installed. With CONCURRENT USE licensing, the EViews
License Manager software is locked to a single computer designated
by Licensee. Support includes, but is not limited to, assistance in
moving licensed copies of EViews and EViews License Manager
between computers. Unless Licensee renews their rights to Support,
Licensor will be under no obligation to assist Licensee in keeping
EViews running when computers are replaced or upgraded.
7.
